Why because the heads of the UPCI in the 1970's proclaimed they would be 3 times the AOG by the year 2000.

The truth the AOG has one the race....

Now, something i find interesting. The last time I visited the UPC website I remember there being around 700,000 in weekly Sunday School attendance for the organization. However, when I just checked in a few minutes ago the number was 646,304.

I'm kinda puzzled by that.
Why is that so important to you if you're no longer UPC, and obviously dont have a high opinion of the organization?

Because for 27 years the UPC was my life and I am fascinated by trends and statistics. Because I left the mother ship I would like to know if I am the only one or is this a trend or is the organization aging or growing or any number of other interesting stats.

Old time Pentecost is a fascinating subculture and I am a little nostalgic.
